Unfortunately, this life is short, even if it is long. We may all need one day a heart that cares for us and a hand that reaches out to help us. Let us all live in love, safety and peace, and let us cooperate in our worries and pains until the end.
I am very influenced by the Western cultures and way of life, especially the Anglophone culture.
I love volunteering for humanitarian reasons. I love assisting the others, especially those who cannot depend on themselves like the elderly people, people with special needs, people with disabilities, and children. I feel so good about myself, comfortable, and happy when I offer a helping hand to those who deserve it.
My background allowed me to get involved in volunteering. I thus have a global vision of the functioning of a company and the interaction between its professions. I propose to put my experience and knowledge at your service.
Thank you so much for your participation in our wonderful community!
I work in a plastic injection company as a maintenance technician. One of my most important interventions is to perform preliminary maintenance on the machine as well as repair all faults completely. I have previously worked in the field of agriculture and farming.

I help the elderly a lot in my city by choosing food that helps them and also taking medicine on time, and I love this job. It is a hobby, and for me, whoever does not love his hobby does not love his work I also find happiness in their faces when I help them, and this makes me happy

I never experienced as a volunteer until right at this moment.
But doing the right things with compassion and help people are what people should do. Nobody can not live alone.
Im excited to enroll elderhelpers.org
I signed up for a month and was able to find a helpful volunteer after only 4 phone calls! Everything started out well & I was thankful for this service. Down the road, however, the helper did a few things that were deemed inappropriate, such as removing a painting from the wall, with who knows what intention since he was stopped in his tracks, and "permanently borrowing" a book without permission. He had a history of mental problems for which he had been hospitalized per his own admission.
I believe that helpers should be more thoroughly vetted by ElderHelpers, and those who utilize their services should know that they do so at their own risk. What started out as a most promising experience turned out to be very disappointing in the end.

My mother lives in Cambridge Ontario, Canada. She needs some help as she getting older and had a stroke. I came across your site and signed and then I noticed that you are US based. Mary R. From Customer Care showed me where to look for Canadian cities, but nothing came up for her city, but I do appreciate the fast response.
Thanks!
My husband signed up on 11/21. Our "donation" was withdrawn right away. Understandably, due to the holiday, we expected a delay. However, it took two weeks to get a response. All we needed was a code to be able to contact a volunteer. Instead, we kept getting the same email requesting a sign up and donation. When he finally received the code, he made 9 phone calls. The only two numbers that answered had moved out of the area. The other numbers were either no longer working, so a message was left. No one has responded 24 hours later. The latest from elder helpers is another request for our zip code? Don't you have our registration? Ridiculous.
My mom stopped driving so she needed some transportation. I was fortunate enough to find Elder Helpers. What a wonderful organization. I found 2 very caring people in her neighborhood who are volunteering to drive her. We feel truly blessed. I would highly recommend this organization

Whoever thought about this program deserves a lot of thanks. I have an 80-year old grandfather and he is living alone. I come to visit him often if I could. Lately my job requires me to do lot of out of town trips. There's cable tv in the house, but having someone to talk with is still different. So I am very thankful for Elder Helpers because now a volunteer regularly comes by to keep company with my grandfather.
I signed up to get help for my 90 + year old in-laws. Not really impressed. Many of the volunteers I called either never returned my calls or stated they were no longer involved with this organization. I am not paying $50 a month for nothing! They also tell you that it is the client's responsibility to report wrong or disconnected numbers. Really? Then what am I paying for? If they had a better business model they would at least keep their database updated and regularly check in with both the client's and volunteers. I can't recommend this organization for my area in South King County Washington state.

I signed up for 3 months and called all the volunteers within a 10 mile radius. Any farther away, and they would have to drive a treacherous mountain road. NO ONE RESPONDED, or if they answered my call, they said they were no longer volunteering. The person at elderhelpers said I had to look within 20 miles, and I "should" pay the volunteers. 75/mile. None of this was mentioned when I signed up. He refuses to give me a refund. I would steer clear of this company. Instead, research other volunteer organizations in your area who are truly volunteer with no strings attached.

I am always happy to help and Eldercare not only helps elders in our community but they also help their volunteers feel like they are giving back to our most vulnerable residents! This is an experience everyone should have.
It's truly a shame that our society is uncomfortable with getting older. I hope that when I get older and seemingly irrelevant to the rest of society, someone will care enough to visit me. In order to receive, we have to give so that's what I'm doing. No doubt there are elders who are lonely and need nothing more than some attention and someone to talk to. We all matter regardless of age.

Business History
In the middle of June 2015, we have decided to stop offering a refund policy since it was rarely respected by our users. We switched to a third party meeting the best industry standards to offer tax deductible donation receipts, easy cancellation, and increased security.
We now only let informed people about our service (having read our FAQs carefully, and checked our listings of volunteers themselves) join our community. Each user gets access to our safe and convenient service for a small monthly contribution. We do not offer refunds anymore. There is no more subscription, monetary contribution is now considered a donation. And it is tax deductible!
People joining our community are asked to be patient, nice to our volunteers, and to report wrong and disconnected phone numbers to us, which is the only way that we can keep a database clean and up-to-date. This website is user supported: volunteers give their time and when they can donate money, elders and their relatives participate fifty dollars a month, and report their results to benefit the entire community of users.
